One thing that is not working as expected in bsnmpd (or maybe I'm not
expecting the right thing) is replying to queries on multihomed hosts.
That is, if one machine has 2 network interfaces, one with IP address
192.168.1.1, mask 255.255.255.0 and another 10.10.10.10 (same mask), if a
host on the 192.168 segment tries to query this host on its 10.10.10.10
IP address, it will receive a reply from 192.168.1.1 - which will be
ignored, since it's not the host we tried to query.
Is this the normal behaviour?
This was discussed lately on the SNMP news list. There is no behaviour
described by the standard in this case and it seems that both behaviours
exist and are formally allowed. I would say that it would be good to make
the response appear from the same IP address as the request was sent to. I
try to look whether this can be done easily.
